Ixonia Rosetta Yipsilanti



"Salutations. "
Ixonia is one of my Original Characters. She is one of the three cousins that was sent into a new world without warning. If you are able to get her to talk about her past, you might learn where she came from.

Ixonia is 5 foot 7 inches and weighs 147 pounds of pure muscle. Ixonia has long brown silky hair with a wide streak of silver that came from an accident. She keeps the hair from her face by tying it back then pinning it in a tight bun. She has a warm chocolate brown eyes with long thick lashes. One eye is far sighted while the other eyes is near sighted. This is an odd occurrence but it has helped her see things that others have missed. Her face is heart shape and smooth as a baby’s butt. Her lips are naturally red as is her cheeks which happen to be a much paler red. She has a longer than normal neck which she is willing to use to her own advantage.
Her hands are slender and long. Her joints are triple jointed and will come out of place easily. Her body can sway with the wind as the saying goes which means that she is very flexible. She loves jewelry and wears it where ever she can including on her long toes and ankles.

Age: 347 :

Gender: Female :

Occupation: Wandering Gypsy at the moment

Abilities: Ixonia has many abilities but most of them has to do weather and basic magic


Skills: Ixonia can do metal working, jewelry and macramé

Personality: Ixonia is set in her ways, refuses to learn more magic and very stubborn. She is no longer loyal to anyone for she has been hurt too many times. She will meet most challenges just for entertainment. She has only 1 true love- dancing.

Biography:
The three cousins (Rosewoode, Ixonia and Mariah ) came from a world that I created. It has two warring rivals – one wanting Rosewoode and the other protecting her. All three were pushed through a portal on their 16th birthday. They had to learn how to survive on their own and in unfamiliar world.
Ixonia was the black sheep of the three. She got herself into a lot of trouble when young and Rosewoode came to the rescue each time. Her past included living with gypsies, being a female pirate captain and owned a store. She now travels and sells a variety of items to who want the item.

Likes: Mead, soft pretzels, whiskey, heart stews and fresh baked bread. She loves birds but has lost her last one in a storm which she blames herself for.

Dislikes: Anyone who knows more about something than what she does, dogs, cats, fighting other people (still likes to watch fights on an occasion )

Fears: The Unknown

Weaknesses: Learning new things and being able to adapt to new situations.

Other: Her mind sometimes wanders off and is not always aware of what is going around her.

Keeva O’Brien






“I didn’t mean to! Sorry!”

“People can surprise you… it isn’t wise to underestimate anyone.”






19
Female



Rich or Poor?:
Middle to upper class (though a Tad worse for wear)

Power Descriptions:
Portals of the Seas and Sky:
Weather manipulation

Can create rain/lightning/tornadoes (Minor)

Water manipulation

Allows her to create hurricanes/floods/tsunamis when combined with weather manipulation (Major)

★ Other forms of manipulation depend on how “Natural” the water is (I.E. she could do more with a raindrop or sea water than she could with something that’s been stored/collected/created.)
★ She can not create water from nothing (though she can use the atmosphere/water in the air to form clouds, and pull water from the ground – but it pretty well has to already be there).

Emotional Manipulation

If she has direct eye contact (or someone is looking into her eyes – despite if she is looking directly back at them or not) with an individual (or other beings able to feel) she can manipulate their emotions.
However, she is limited in that she can only inflict the current state of her own emotions onto the victim/assailant (i.e. if she is calm, they will begin to feel calm; if she feels fear, they will be afraid; but if she is angry… well, you get the idea).
The strength of what they feel will depend upon her level of eye contact.


Skills:
Aside from bouts of luck, Keeva is skilled at getting herself out of troublesome situations.

Quick to learn various things.

Manipulating water

Personality:
Keeva is a sheltered girl with big dreams. She is adventurous, though frightens easily (an unfortunate side-effect of her past – likely linked to some level of PTSD). However, she has an incredible sense of resolve – which allows her to overcome the fear (depending on the situation) though, her “go-get-'em” attitude has found her trouble on many occasions (both in her community and on adventures)



Biography:
Keeva was born of a race of Magi in a secluded community in the mountains. Every child born to this place gained their full magical ability (whatever it may be) by the age of nine, and every person of the “clan” is judged by said ability.

For a decade, Keeva hid her power. She knew full well – even at that young age – the kind of tasks she would be forced to carry out had she let them come to light. So… Keeva lived a life of ridicule – and for more reasons than just the one*.



That was the night she revealed her power to anyone. That was the night she’d saved the home that would never be “home” again. That was the night she lost her mother…



Likes:
♢ Nature
♢ Adventure
♢ Books/Learning
♢ Singing (by herself)
♢ Using her power (it’s complicated)
♢Beautiful things


Dislikes:
♢ Controlling people (both who are controlling in personality, and magically)
♢ Causing pain (when she doesn’t Think it’s a monster)
♢ Using her power
♢ How naïve/sheltered she is/was
♢ Conflict


Fears:
♢ Her mother
♢ “Evil” people
♢ Being used for her power
♢ Being trapped/confined (much of this stems from childhood punishments and living a life of even more seclusion than her clan)


Weaknesses:
♢ Her mother
♢ Her lack of physical ability
♢ Her lack of “True” knowledge of the outside world
♢ A good adventure
♢ Beautiful things


Other:
*In the History of the Magi clan, there have only been three cases of heterochromia. One was the case of Faelian the Founder – a powerful and terrible mage who established the clan (and it’s pureblood, power-hungry ideals). The other was Dhegin, the Deserter. Born 30 years after Faelian’s death, he -in a similar fashion to Keeva – never “acquired” his power. Rather than face a life with the ruthless Magi, he fled to parts unknown, earning the title of “deserter” (a title which Keeva may now hold) and the last - of course - is Keeva herself.*

          Koru Elerren

          Image Pending
          "Science is just magic I haven't figured out yet"
          Wood elf in heritage his smooth tan skin has a a hue that might confuse the less focused into thinking he was made of polished wood. His frame is slim and flows into his heavy forest green robes which have been cut at the shoulders and lower body to allow for more free movement and ventilation. Long chestnut hair falls just below his shoulders some of it becoming lost in his robes hood, a thick leather belt adorns his waits carrying basic adventuring tools and a few trinkets.

          Age:
          500 and something...

          Gender:
          Male

          Occupation:
          Traveling Wizard

          Power Description:
          Earth and Nature manipulation

          Skills:
          Arcane Perception

          Personality:
          The three words that come up most when describing what Koru us like are clumsy, curious and forgetful; he means well but he will still touch subjects others would like him to leave alone. He has a deep care for those around him, wanting to know more about everyone he comes across so as he might better understand the world outside of the forests he once walked. However he's a fear fighter when defending what he feels he should.

          Biography:
          Not much is known about Koru after he left the forest, more because he couldn't remember anything to tell you even if he wanted to. All that is known for sure is that he was taught to guard the forest like his parents before him. This however was not to be his life forever as some time long ago the forest had been raised to the ground, this is where his memories get worse as he remembers nothing but some flashes he cant quite make out. He's spent his last several hundred years traveling around the globe looking for interesting people and places noting it all down in a large tomb that seems to never run out of pages.

          Anthony "Doorman" Birch


          "What I can't unlock, my welder can."
          Appears as if he just walked out of a stereotypical western, complete with worn hat and duster. Accented by the two large and badly concealed pistols at his sides. Medium length unkempt brown hair, with the first whispers of grey, and matching stubble. He stands a bit above average height, and always seems to carry himself with a slightly tired posture.

          Age:
          29

          Gender:
          Male

          Occupation:
          Retired Shadowrunner

          Abilities:
          As an adept, Doorman has innate magical abilities that are extremely hard to detect through normal magical perception.
          These include:
          enhanced reflexes, agility, pistol skill and accuracy

          Skills:
          Extensive pistol training and proficiency
          Minor hand to hand
          Welding & Lockpicking

          Personality:
          Cocky and self-reliant, Doorman always tries to take the most straightforward path to his goal.
          He is dismissive towards strangers, and fiercely loyal to his friends. Since his retirement he has become much more calm and reasonable, for the most part.

          Biography:
          Growing up in the rough streets of 2060 Melbourne, Anthony found inspiration from old videos. Westerns. He admired the strength and self reliance of the cowboys of old and became a fanboy of sorts. After discovering his innate abilities, it wasn’t long before he found himself living as a shadowrunner.

          Marissa of the 9th Gate


          "I guess I don't need to bother going to work if I'm trapped here."


          Appearance:
          Some sort of magic user, judging by the large western style witch's hat sitting on her head and the cape. Aside from the mandatory hat and cape, though, she doesn't look much like a witch at all, instead opting for more casual clothing - currently, a short black trench coat over a knit pink&purple turtleneck and her local equivalent of jeans, with very comfortable looking running shoes.

          At 5'6" and 130 lbs, with a rather average body type with no features overdeveloped or out of balance, she looks very much normal person, as long as one doesn't mind the fact that her skin is steel-grey. At least, until one sees her eyes, which are very much not human. Rather than circular pupils, hers are in the shape of a cross, the ends of which run all the way across regardless of which way she's looking. Aside from the abnormal shape, the irises are a pleasant shade of purple.

          Age:
          Q'varat 223. No known translation to Earth years.
          Appears relatively young - perhaps in mid twenties.

          Gender:
          Female, or very close to it.

          Occupation:
          Head Magician of the 9th Gate's #7 Engineering Complex.
          Extremely wealthy, so long as one accepts payment in iridium slips.

          Abilities:
          Elemental manipulation.
          Eldritch energy manipulation.
          Limited eldritch summoning.
          Limited space distortion.
          Wide-spectrum vision.

          Skills:
          Improvised weapon usage.
          Basic defensive arts.
          Building magical devices.

          Personality:

          Volatile and paranoid would be one way to put it. Generally, she tries to be friendly and helpful, but she has the annoying tendency to have massive mood swings. Generally she manages to keep these mood swings under control, because they're technically a problem rather than a genuine part of herself, but she isn't yet able to keep her head cool when angered. That'll take quite a bit more practice.

          She is rather sociable and curious, and has the tendency to ask lots of questions about anything she doesn't know about when she doesn't think she can figure it out herself. That curiosity was the entire reason why she became a skilled sorceress, and she certainly isn't going to stop being curious about things any time soon. Everything she encounters, she assumes has a perfectly valid scientific explanation, and oddities that don't line up with her experiences catch her attention quite easily.

          She is unimpressed by magic, but may be impressed by other magic users, depending on how unique their talents are.

          Biography:

          The 9th Gate is a rather pleasant place - Mgaaras waving about and reaching up from the pathways into the sky, Uxuvos racing to and fro through the air, spreading their phosphorescent radiance all about, and people of almost every species trying to get from one place to another. It is also a very difficult to manage place, and faces constant threats from every sort of thing imaginable and unimaginable while simultaneously having to worry about the increasingly difficult demands for transportation of modern life. A number of guard complexes, engineering complexes, and pseudocomputing complexes were built in the past Q'varat 55, and each of them has its own unique role to play in keeping everything running smoothly, lest the 9th Gate be absorbed by the 10th Gate, which is rapidly outpacing everything else in terms of power and growth.

          Marissa is was the head Magician of one of the Engineering complexes, and was rather good at keeping her subordinates in line. On paper, at least. In truth, she was roughly as respected as a huvok'devaachk (some sort of squishy equivalent of a broken coffee mug swept into a sewer grate), and kept finding increasingly annoying magics blocking the door to her private garage. The Transplanar Laboratory down the hall, of course, had a solution - an altar that focused enormous amounts of existential energies in order to merely move from Point A to Point B instantaneously. She built one of her own out of schematics borrowed from the Transplanar Laboratory (being the head magician has its perks, after all), and summoned seven units of the Grand Brain to assist in the device's operation.

          It went smoothly for a week as she used it to transport herself to and from her office/garage and her tiny, worm-filled apartment. She made a massive error in judgment, however, when she programmed a set of vague and unusual coordinates into it, despite the protests of the Seven, resulting in being dumped in a completely unrelated place. The Tavern.

          James 'Jimmy' Hardwick

          Private Investigator



          'Awful lot of strange things goin' on down Massachusetts way. I'm gonna get to the bottom of it.

          Age:
          32

          Gender:
          Male

          Power Descriptions:
          No superpowers, but has an incredibly keen eye for detail. He carries a small snub-nosed revolver and a few extra rounds for self defence.

          Personality:
          Once a young and eager cop on the streets of Chicago, Hardwick willingly left the force after a raid on an supoosed distillery turned ugly. The experience made him more cautious and jaded, and he took up an interest in the occult which led down many dark paths to forbidden knowledge no mortal should ever possess. While silver-tongued and quick to gain people's trust at a superficial level, Hardwick in fact struggles with neurosis and paranoia coupled with an often serious drinking problem.

          Biography:
          James grew up as most kids did in urban hubs across America - poor, dirty, and overcrowded in the streets and slums of Chicago. His mother was a Polish immigrant and his father worked the railways tirelessly to keep his family supported.

          James was barely fourteen when his Dad left to fight in the Great War. Tragically, his tour - and his life - were cut brutally short during the Ypres campaign.

          As the war drew to a close, James took on a slew of odd jobs to support his increasingly distant and grief stricken mother, who had taken to alcohol to dull the pain of losing the love of her life. It became harder and harder for her to hold down a job. Eventually she too was taken by her vices, two months before the Eighteenth Amendment came into force.

          The pain of watching his mother waste away affected James greatly, and he became involved in a number of temperance movements. In 1924 and spurred by a desire to help tear down the growing bootlegging syndicates around the city, he joined the Chicago Police Department and worked as a detective for a few years.

          This, however, was not to last. After an anonymous tip-off about a potential underground distillery, James led a small contingent of police on a raid on a run-down old building in one of Chicago's rougher boroughs. As James made his way into the basement, what he discovered instead filled him with eldritch dread - strange markings on the walls, blood-red candles arranged in incomprehensible patterns, signs of human sacrifice and, most horrific of all, a bloodied tome bound in a mish-mash of cured human skin.

          Forever scarred by the events of that night, James immediately quit the force and sought solace in the very thing he had fought so hard against: drink. He wandered aimlessly across the States for a few years, trying to make sense of what he saw that night.

          It was after a chance meeting with a man from the Miskatonic University in Arkham, Massachusetts that James finally began to understand the nightmares that had plagued him for so long. He settled down in Arkham and, with the help of the Miskatonic University, became a Private Investigator and researcher into the occult and forbidden knowledge, with the hope that he could help both himself and others understand the dark secrets that lurk beneath the thin veneer of society.

          Likes:

          Dislikes:
          Prohibition, thinking too much, being sober for extended periods of time, cultists

          Fears:
          Situations or cosmic circumstances beyond his control, idle & sober thoughts

          Weaknesses:
          Often pursues leads or cases with a fanatical devotion, regardless of personal safety or concern for others

          Theme Song:
          Does low pitched chanting in long-dead languages count as a theme song?

          Specter





          Specter appears as a translucent apparition that is concealed by a dark cloak. No matter how close you get to Specter's head in this form, it is impossible to see a face past the veil of darkness. To blend in better with others, Specter will sometimes use the transformation ability to seem less intimidating.

          Age:
          Unknown

          Gender:
          Usually percieved as male.

          Occupation:
          Watcher of Worlds / Part-Time Reaper

          Abilities / Skills:

          Invisibility- Specter is only visible to those with extraordinary abilities to see past their current plane of existence. Specter can also make a conscious effort to be seen by those without this ability.

          Transformation- Specter's natural form is shown above in the character appearance. Specter can also shape shift to appear to look like any other living creature. Though, the end result will always be slightly translucent.

          Levitation- Specter can travel at unbelievable speeds as the forces of gravity and friction do not reach his/her plane of existence. Specter rarely has any need to move at such speeds though and instead chooses to hover around at human speeds.

          Intangibility- It actually takes a great deal of concentration for Specter to physically touch something. Otherwise, objects, living or non, pass right through.

          Soul Speech- Specter does not actually posses vocal chords or ears. Instead, Specter listens directly to the thoughts resonating in a persons mind/soul and responds directly to that person's soul. Specter can use this ability to talk to multiple people at once and even act as a link for people to hear each other's thoughts. Specter often creates the illusion of lips moving when transformed to look like a human; this makes people feel more comfortable. Talking out loud to Specter may draw unwanted attention as others may not be able to see or hear him/her.

          Soul Snatch- The ability to take the soul of a deceased life form out of the body and into the afterlife.

          Personality:
          Specter does not sleep, like most others existing in the afterlife. One can imagine that being the oldest entity in known existence and never taking a rest has made Specter a bit of a grouch. Grouchiness aside, Specter is always searching for entertainment. Both great acts of good and great acts of evil are interesting to Specter, but not as interesting as the unpredictable moments. That's right, despite being an intangible immortal, Specter is not a future teller.

          Biography:
          Specter has been in existence since the dawn of time. His/her origins are unknown to anyone, even himself/herself. Specter's best 'friend' would have to be Death, but Death is usually so busy that the two never see one another. Every once in a while Death will ask Specter for assistance reaping souls when all of his full-time reapers are too busy. Specter does not like reaping souls, but after a few months of reaping, Death usually agrees to a friendly board game or a bit of light conversation about the state of the universe.

          Likes:
          Board games. Deep conversation. Catastrophic events. Moments of pure joy. Moments of pure rage. Meddling with the living world.

          Dislikes:
          Boredom.
